Metapopulation theory and its application to ecological restoration

Abstract

Abstract: To solve the environmental problems is one of the challenges for ecologists and environmentalists.These problems mainly include destroyed stability and equilibrium of biosystem,habitat loss and fragmentation.The origin of metapopulation theory was discussed in this paper,and the latest advance and applied scope were summarized as well.Some fundamental principles were proposed,including the metapopulation equilibrium,the minimum viable metapopulation (MVM),the fittest patchy density and the high quality patch,which could guide the conservation and restoration strategy when the metapopulation theory was applied.

Key words: Marine Cage Aquaculture, Eutrophication, Marine environmental pollution
